3. I glued the scrapbook paper hearts onto the cereal box hearts and then snipped fringe along the perimeter before wrapping and hot gluing to the other side.

4. I then glued on the smaller paper heart.

5. Now for the strips. I hot glued them into two hearts. You want the heart that is a scant inch wide to be about 1/4 of an inch smaller than the other one. I cut about 1/8 of an inch off the ends of each the strips before gluing them into a heart.

These are the “lips” of the box. I guess…I don’t know. I making that up, but that is what I’ll call it. 🙂

6. I made sure the scant heart fit inside the full inch wide one like so…

7. I then glued on the scrapbook paper to the “lips” of the box.

8. I took the wider and larger “lip” and glued how I wanted it to look, onto one of the heart pieces with hot glue. You will probably be a neater hot gluer than me. I am certain. 🙂

9. I then inserted the smaller “lip” into the top lid I just made.Be sure to not press it all the way in. I added glue to the rim and then placed the other heart on top.

After it cooled/dried, I pulled off the second base lid and reinforced it with more hot glue.

10. Here are my two pieces. A top and a bottom.

I then added the candy. I just bought a $1 mini pack of my husband’s favorite candy bar.

Wrote a love note and tied it up with a ribbon.

All done and ready for Valentine’s Day…

All he has to do is peek inside…

Oh…He is going to love me for this.

I just know it.

It’s not too girly, but still romantic.

Should I mention that this only cost me a dollar?

The ribbon was recycled from some pajamas packaging from Christmas. 🙂 I love that he doesn’t have to pick through the chocolates to find ones he likes. I know he is going to love every single one!
